Lens is $1299. Sounds like the http://store.redrockmicro.com/Catalog/featured/livelensmft is the way to go.

Will that adapter also work with my Tokina - AF AT-X 16-50/2.8 lens?

I currently have the adaptimax nikon adapter on there, but if I can switch to the canon mount, I think I'd like to. What do you think?

No, it will only work with canon ef mount lenses

I'll chime in on the 45-TSE. SHARP lens. I have all the Canon TS lenses and the 45 might be the best of them.

You should be able to pick up the 45 TS-E used at around $825 to $850 in "9" to "9+" condition.

I sold mine about a month ago for $785, but it had a small mark on the element.

I am selling a lot of other stuff, so looking at For Sale boards to get pricing. Let me know if you want me to look for a sued 45.

Great lens! I just had to downsize from more than $40K in camera equipment, and I am not working much right now.

Best,
Michael

Hey Jim,

To answer your original question, yes the LiveLens will control the aperture of the TS-45mm. As for the Tokina, I have unfortunately not tested that specific EF version, but have been able to use other Tokina lenses on the mount successfully.
